The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District welcomes you to B. A. Steinhagen Lake, Town Bluff Project (formerly and still commonly known simply as “Dam B”), located midway between Jasper and Woodville, Texas, in the heart of the East Texas Pineywoods. Our mission: to assist Sam Rayburn Reservoir in providing flood control to the Angelina & Neches River basins in Southeast Texas, supply water to the Lower Neches Valley Authority and the Beaumont area, produce a clean source of electric generation, and to offer some of the best fishing, camping, and birding in Texas, all at just a little slower pace.

The Recreation.gov website has an entirely new look with features including simplified search capabilities, enhanced content and streamlined Google maps.  Visitors to the website can now do much more than make reservations for camping, tours and tickets at federal facilities.  The Corps has almost 30,000 reservable campsites in Recreation.gov and there is a wealth of information about Corps water resources projects.  More details on the new features added to the Recreation.gov website may be found under the “New Look! New Features!” Tab located at the top right hand corner of Recreation.gov home page.  We hope you take some time to explore the new Recreation.gov website, and better yet, we hope you find some great new places to get out and Explore Your America!  http://www.recreation.gov

Facility Closure Report:

Town Bluff Project - May 2013 - Lake level is now back to normal (82.5' above msl), and all boat ramps are open. - All parks are open (except camping loop of Campers Cove). -Kid's Fish Day to be held June 1, 2013. Call 409-429-3491 for more details. -  Herbicide spraying for control of nuisance aquatic vegetation will begin in late April and continue through October. The previous seasons of spraying and the recent cold weather have the lake in relatively good shape, but there is still much to do to keep it that way. Please give the airboat spray crews plenty of room and a wave when you see them, and if you notice any Giant Salvinia, especially in the remote areas of the lake and rivers, please call the office at 409-429-3491. This program is a cooperative effort with the Lower Neches Valley Authority, Texas Parks and Wildlife, and the Corps of Engineers.
